HIST_HOURS

Used only with fair share scheduling. Determines a rate of decay for cumulative CPU time, run time, and historical run time.

Syntax

HIST_HOURS=hours

Description

To calculate dynamic user priority, LSF scales the actual CPU time and the run time using a decay factor, so that 1 hour of recently-used time is equivalent to 0.1 hours after the specified number of hours has elapsed.

To calculate dynamic user priority with decayed run time and historical run time, LSF scales the accumulated run time of finished jobs and run time of running jobs using the same decay factor, so that 1 hour of recently-used time is equivalent to 0.1 hours after the specified number of hours has elapsed.

When HIST_HOURS=0, CPU time and run time accumulated by running jobs do not decay.

This parameter can also be set for an individual queue in lsb.queues. If defined, the queue value takes precedence.

Default
